Chapter 3

Wow... almost a year since I updated. I'M REALLY, REALLY, SORRY! I really will up date more often now, I have more time :)

-...-

"And so, the pokedex was created..."

Gold twirled a pencil in his hand, clearly not bothering to listen to a word the teacher said. He was woken from his daze, when a piece of paper was thrown at him. Gold, not caring to see who threw the notebook paper, opened it and read over it.

"No way!" he yelled as he shot himself out of his seat with widened eyes.

"Way..." The teacher said to Gold, though he held a serious expression. "You seem very interested in this lesson Gold." he said.

Gold yawned. "Nah, this is the most boring thing I've done in my life." he said truthfully.

The teacher vein popped. "Then why don't you join detention and see just how boring your life can get?" he said, instructing Gold to get back in his seat.

Gold groaned as he sat back down. "What is it today, club serious get a new member?" he grumbled to himself.

-...-

Lunch was extremely hectic. Blue caught Crystal giving Gold his lunch (of all people), and kept pestering them with questions about their relationship.

"So I heard you got detention on the first day of school, must be a new record." Silver said, slightly smirking.

Gold glared. "Better than scaring my first period teacher within 5 minutes!" he yelled.

"Oh Silver, leave Gold be," Blue said patting Silver's head, who then decided to hush down. "He must have a lot on his mind, what with dating Crystal and all."

Crystal flushed while at the same time, Gold was smirking. "No, no, it's not like that!" Crystal said frantically, waving her arms up and down.

"Or is it?" Gold said as he ignored Crystal's glare. "You know, we're actually living in the same house now."

The whole table went silent. "Seriously...?" Yellow said, looking at Crystal.

Ruby nodded, quite uninterestedly. "Yeah, we came to pick them up at Crystal's house this morning. Her parents aren't home so Gold and his mom are staying at her house until they get back." he said shrugging at Crystal and holding up the money that Gold gave him.

"But my mom won't be home for a couple of weeks so it's just me and Crystal for awhile!" Gold said proudly, making a smirk.

Crystal's eyes (along with everyone at the table's) widened. "You never told me that Gold!" she yelled flushing.

Gold chuckled. "Oh didn't I, Super Serious Gal?" he said worriedly though the look on his face said otherwise.

Crystal shot a glare in the black haired boy's direction. "I'm going to kill you." she mumbled under her breath.

"Then lets have a sleepover!" Red suggested. "It'll be a great way to get reacquainted after all of this time.

"Well... I think it might be a good idea..." Yellow said, her face becoming red when everyone turned their attention to her, she panicked. "I- I mean... we might be able to keep them some company."

Green nodded, trying to keep calm as he saw Blue whispering something in Silver's ear (him blushing in return). "I really do need to get away from the gym for awhile, this may be a good chance to do so." he said almost stoically.

Blue giggled at the auburn haired boy. "Looks like little Greeny has decided not to be uptight for a day, this might be a sign of the apocalypse!" she said in a fake alarmed voice.

Green rolled his eyes, looking away from her. "Tch, pesky woman..."

"I'm out though," Sapphire said as Ruby nodded. "Our dads said that we have to have a better relationship, so we have to go out that night."

Ruby groaned quietly. "Just pray that I don't get eaten..." he mumbled just before Sapphire punched him.

"Say that again, and I'll have ya fingers torn down right ta da grub!" she yelled threatening him.

Ruby sneered. "How barbaric, you have no sense of fashion and now you cant even sit still at lunch, so, so sad." she said shaking his head.

"Pl-ease!" Sapphire said spat out. "I bet I could act like you and ya sissy people any day!"

Ruby at first contemplated whether or not to purpose a bet and and crossed his arms. "Then do it." he simply said.

Sapphire raised a confused eyebrow at the boy. "Do it? What is that suppose to mean?" he slightly chuckled.

Ruby actually found himself getting confused. "For one week... act like a lady and I'll be your personal slave for a month." he said, immediately regretting what came out of his mouth.

Sapphire smirked at the same time that Ruby's face became distressed. "Deal!"

-...-

"Come on Crys, why are you so mad at me?" Gold followed behind Crystal, trying to catch up to her before they got home. "I swear, you have such an uptight butt."

Crystal finally lost it and turned to face the taller boy. "Anyone would be mad if they knew that they had to live in a house alone with you for 2 weeks!" she yelled. "How do you expect-"

Gold groaned. "Uh, be quiet!" he grieved. "You know you have a pretty face, but you talk like a nun." he grinned.

Crystal pulled Gold's loose tie, bringing their faces close together. "You think you're charming, don't you?" she said bitterly.

Gold wrapped his arms around the blue haired girl and soon picked her up on his back. "I've been told." he said with a huge smile on his face.

Crystal rolled her eyes, looking away. "Whatever..." she remained silent as a large blush appeared on her face.

"Crystal..." Gold said in a soft tone his pace also slowing down.

Crystal found herself getting slightly worried when the usually hyped up boy became calm. "Yeah." she answered quietly.

"Your birthday's coming up right?"

Crystal pondered, she had not really thought about it with all the work that she had been doing. She buried her face in Gold's back. "Yeah... but it doesn't really matter. It's not like anything will change."

Gold sighed, letting Crystal off when they got to her large house (though it wasn't nearly as big as Gold's). "How is nothing going to change? You're a year older right, and this time you'll be 16!" he yelled frantically.

Crystal opened the door and entered the house. "So?"

Gold smirked once he entered the house he locked the door behind him. He jumped on Crystal's back, making them both fall on the floor. "Arceus, you're too serious..." he said, smiling at the position they were in.

Gold was on top of Crystal... all alone... in the house. "Get off of me."

Gold simply stared back at Crystal. "Admit it."

"Admit what?"

Gold rolled his eyes, he seemed to be staring right through Crystal. "Admit 3 things, 1. birthdays are fun, 2. you like me, 3. you're enjoying this." he said laughing on the inside inside at all of Crystal's face expressions.

"I will not!" Crystal said turning her head away stubbornly which only resulted in Gold turning her head back. The only difference this time was that their faces were closer.

Gold smirked, expecting this reaction. "Then I might have to kiss you just to prove the last two." he said seductively as Crystal turned beat red.

"Gold p-please get off of me." the navy eyed girl stuttered nervously.

Gold chuckled before getting off of the girl. "You're lucky I'm feeling generous today."

Crystal suddenly rushed up to her room, not daring to look Gold in the face. "I wonder if I went to far..." he said calmly. "Ah! Who cares?" The boy plopped back down to the floor, preparing for an afternoon nap.

-...-

"Crystal..." Gold said peering open Crystal's bedroom door. He was about to say more when he realized that Crystal was asleep with a large stack of papers on her desk in front of her.

Gold shook his head and slowly closed the door. He came back later with a blanket and draped it around Crystal's shoulders. "So much for going to the party..." he said sighing.

Though at that moment Crystal's eyes slowly opened. "A blanket?" she said quietly just before she got up. "Well, might as well make dinner before Gold starts complaining-"

She froze as she met face to face with Gold. "What the hell are you doing here?" she yelled, hitting him on reflex. "What were you planning to do?"

Gold sat up on the floor, rubbing his head in pain. "Geez, nothing, why do you always have to automatically make assumptions about me?"

"Because you always do things like this!" Crystal grabbed one of her pokeballs in a threatening matter.

Gold furrowed his eyebrows. "But do think that I'd do that to anyone that I cared about?" he mumbled to himself which stopped Crystal in her tracks.

Before she could respond, the doorbell rang. Gold got up, avoiding Crystal's gaze. "I'll get it." he said in a very uncharacteristic way.

Gold shuffled his feet down the stairs. "She treats me like a criminal..." once he got to the door,he opened it, unhappy to find a tall man with quizzical brown hair and blue eyes standing at the door. He had on a sort of magicians outfit in purple and white shoes.

"Eusine?" Crystal asked standing on the stair case. "Nice to see you again, come in!" she said, excitedly running to the door.

Gold observed the man closely as he walked in and raised and amused eyebrow when he saw him dragging in a reluctant Silver on a leash.

Silver mouth 'help me' to Gold as he shrugged with a grin and closed the door behind them.

"Um Silver... why are you here?" Crystal said bringing everyone's attention to the red-head.

Eusine grinned happily. "A beautiful young woman with astonishing blue eyes such as mine, told me to take him under my wing as an apprentice!" he said proudly while Gold could barely hold in a chuckle.

Crystal sweat dropped. "So... why don't you get us some snacks Gold." she said in a more demanding way that anything.

Surprisingly, Gold just shrugged and walked into the kitchen, taking Silver with him. He silently opened the fridge, Silver watching him stoically.

"Who the hell is he?" Gold suddenly yelled, slamming the fridge door.

Silver shrugged. "Crystal and I knew him like 2 or 3 years ago... he's an annoying twit."

"Wait, so she likes him?" Gold asked frantically, glaring at Eusine through the glass pavement (he was ignoring Silver), though he didn't seem to notice. (He was probably talking about himself)

Silver smirked to himself. "She probably does."

Gold growled. "Screw him, just waltz in here and decide to take Crystal away. Why is she just buying into him, like honestly, what an idiot..." he mumbled under his breath to an amused Silver.

"You're not jealous, are you?" Silver stood up. "Ah never mind, I'm going home." he said slipping out the door before Eusine could see him.

Gold seemed to have dismissed Silver's words but was blushing all the same. "Gold." Crystal said walking into the kitchen with an unamused look on her face. "Where are the snacks I told you to get?"

Gold huffed, turning his head away from Crystal stubbornly. "Well, you must be on a diet... well at least I hope you are. Anyway, I decided not to get any." he said.

Crystal glared at the boy, slapping him. "Geez, what's wrong with you today, I really don't know what your problem is." she said passing him by, putting on some tea, and cutting three slices of strawberry shortcake.

"Whatever..." Gold said bitterly. "You like him, right?"

Crystal paused for a slight second. "What do you mean?"

Gold noticed the blush on Crystal's face and felt himself sadden. "N... Never mind." he said grabbing a piece of cake and walking up the stairs.

Crystal raised her eyebrow. "What's wrong with that boy today?"

-...-

"Gold, time for dinner." Crystal said, opening the door to Gold's room. Her mouth slightly parted in surprise when she saw that he was asleep under his blankets.

"Irresponsible..." Crystal walked up to the boy. She stared at him for a longer time than she planned. For some reason when he was asleep he looked so innocent, so calm, so... cute.

"Gotcha!" Gold grabbed Crystal's arm, and threw her unto the bed along with him. "And what might Super Serious Gal be doing here?" he said happily.

Crystal sat up on the bed, glaring at Gold. "That was unnecessary Gold, why were you pretending to be asleep anyway?" she asked with disgusted eyes.

Gold shuffled back under his covers. "I was asleep until you decided to come in without knocking." he said giving her a cute look.

"Just come down for dinner..." Crystal said grabbing Gold's wrist and leading him out of the room and down the stairs much to his suprise.

"Finally!" A blonde haired boy said waving his arms in the air frantically. "How long exactly were you going to make us wait?"

All of the high schoolers were there in addition to 2 boys one with blonde hair (who wouldn't shut up) and one with very short black hair which was mostly concealed by a red barret.

Blue pulled the blonde boys ear. "Geez for Yellow's cousin, you sure have a loud mouth."

"What's everyone doing here?" Crystal asked, pleasantly surprised.

Red smiled softly. "Sleepover remember?"

-...-

Ruby's mouth gaped. "S-Sapphire... is that you?"

Sapphire had her hair straight down and wasn't wearing a bandana. She was wearing a simple white dress with pink frills at the bottom, and has pink heels on.

She blushed. "How are you?" she said with a kind smile, bowing.

Instead of replying, Ruby was literally on the floor, pointing and laughing at the (now annoyed) girl. "I- I made the bet, but I didn't thing you'd actually do it!" he said before laughing again.

Sapphire felt her eye twitch as she refused the urge to punch Ruby. "Well then..." she mumbled trying to sound nice. "I think we should be on our way now."

Ruby slightly grinned, following the girl off of the porch of her house. 'This is going to be one interesting night.' he though humorously to himself

-...-

"Spy on them?" Dia asked, not quite confusedly with a mouth full of cake. Everyone was gathered around Blue, who was speaking about her next plan.

Blue nodded excitedly. "They're on a date, right? Think of how much fun it's going to be seeing what those airheads do!"

Green rolled his eyes in remorse. "Why don't you just leave them alone, annoying girl." he said crossing his arms.

"That actually sounds pretty fun!" Red agreed much to Green's dismay. If he went along with it then surely Yellow, Gold, Crystal, and Pearl would agree. Why did they all have to respect and idiot like him.

"It's settled then." Blue said, not even asking for anyone else's opinion. She then explained how everyone would spit into groups and pulled out a mini board out of nowhere, drawing a game plan much like football. She then chose the teams which were as followed:

Gold and Crystal
Red and Yellow
Dia and Pearl

Me and Green

Silver and Soul

"Awesome, Soul is going to be in this!" Gold said excitedly.

Silver tilted his head to the side. "Soul?"

Blue nodded proudly. "She's a little trainee of mine, she'll meet you at the point I told you about."

Silver groaned quietly as Crystal gaped at the list. "Why am I being paired with him-"

Gold quickly covered her mouth. "Now, Now, Crystal, I'm sure you wouldn't go against what a senpai told you, right?" he said just before Crystal quieted down in defeat.

"Like hell!" Green suddenly yelled out. "Do you really expect me to stay alone with you for a whole night?"

Blue smirked. "Oh then what will I do with these pictures from last summer?"

Everyone stared at Green, wondering just what happened last summer. "Okay just put that away." the auburn haired boy said blushing furiously.

Blue smiled happily. "Thought so."

-...-

Just what happened last summer? That's for me to know and you to find out :) You guys must hate me for waiting this long to update right? Well good news for you... I SUDDENLY HAVE MORE TIME TO UPDATE THIS STORY!
